To give these schools an identity, school naming committees have been formed within the cluster where the new school will be built. All committees include one school staff member and one parent and/or community member from each school listed above. These committees are charged with the task of developing a list of recommended names to submit to the superintendent. These committees have already begun their work, using available research and following the school system's policy for naming new facilities.

In making their recommendations, the committees give consideration to:

Individuals who have made a significant social contribution (If an individual name is proposed, only the last name will symbolize the official name.)

Names of communities served by the school

Roads

Landmarks

Geographical locations in the proximity of the school

Individuals and organizations of Gwinnett County may submit names. Information on submitting names is available below and at the local elementary schools within the clusters where the new schools will be built. The deadline to submit public input on potential names for the new schools is March 26, 2007.

The Board is expected to vote on the Superintendent's recommendations for the new school names at its scheduled board meeting in April.
